Benevento's museum in the Santa Sofia complex: archaeology, art and history of the Sannio.

The museum occupies the former monastery of Santa Sofia and its cloister, with carved medieval capitals. The collections tell the story of the Sannio from prehistory to the modern age.Among the most interesting finds are those from the Temple of Isis in Benevento, commissioned by Emperor Domitian. The visit pairs well with the church of Santa Sofia.
